  • It's near impossible for me to eat all my calories. I eat a huge breakfast (two servings of Kashi + 1 cup milk), a huge lunch *(two slices of whole grain flax bread +boca patty+ veggies) and dinner (usually the same as lunch with extra veggies or tilapia). I always have a 24 almonds after my workout. When I exercise, I…
  • The only time you can change a man is when he's a baby. He'll change for a few weeks but he'll go back to his old ways. I do wish you nothing but luck and fortune for you and your girls :flowerforyou:
  • You know when you're on a diet when you stand outside a Panda Express on a windy day for 5 minutes to smell the awesomeness coming out of the kitchen. This was my afternoon. How was yours? :blushing:
  • My gym at UNLV has the same option: t.v. with full cable on a select number of treadmill/ellipticals or watch one of the monster sized televisions on the wall. It's great when you're there for prime television time but I was watching television on the elliptical last Saturday around 2pm and it was horrible. I couldn't…
  • Read the headers for the codes: One is BBcode and the other is HTML. Under neath the BBcode header it says "For forum signatures on most message boards." Use that one.
  • There are healthy alternatives for these meals, you just need to Google them. You can have healthy tacos (Boca meat, laughing cow cheese, whole wheat tortilla) or healthy hamburger helper (boca or lean turkey meat, whole wheat pasta, laughing cow cheese, onion, parsley, etc.) You need to Google recipes; you'll find that…
  • Honestly, the only way you're going to know how many calories you burned is through a heart rate monitor. Also, it matters if you input your weight and age into the elliptical. According to a Newsweek article, "The red lights on your gym's elliptical trainer say you've burned 350 calories, but have you really worked off…
  • These are free on iTunes, just download them and upload them to your iPod and you're set. This is basically the same thing as the chart, but someone is telling you through your iPod when to run, when to walk, when to stretch, etc. This is a lot easier than timing yourself, that I have found.

  • You're so wise, Sgt.! Great advice! :heart:
  • Just an easy cop-out to leave a relationship. You're better without him :flowerforyou:
  • This has been discussed here before but I wanted to reintroduce it to the newbies and others who are interested in running but don't know where to start: First, I'll start off with a back story: I was obese in high school. I weighed 177 pounds at my heaviest at the heights of 5'2-5'4. With many other obese teenagers, I…

  • Before I started exercising I had no energy. I didn't want to get out of bed, just wanted to sit down all day, and not do anything until 5pm then go to be at 1am. A month into my exercise routine, I felt a huge difference. I started to wake up early, never lethargic, and always wanted to do something constructive with my…
  • Boarders and Walmart has it. I saw it at both places yesterday.
  • Good girl! See, we told you that you could do it!
  • According to an insurance website: "It is illegal in Minnesota to drive without proper insurance...driving without proper insurance can result in fines, license suspension, or even jail time." I had a feeling this was bad since in the state of Nevada illegal to operate motor vehicles, motorcycles, mopeds or golf carts on…
  • Hi Carrie, You need to calculate your recipes using a recipe calculator then decide how many servings you actually ate. For example, if you cooked one casserole with 10 servings but only ate 1 serving, you ate one tenth and input it as 0.1 servings. I hope that helps you out, even more I hope my math was right! Here's a…
  • I've been thinking about this lately. What do you eat for your pre and post workout meal? Today I had lima beans and soy protein (Boca Burger Patty). What do you eat and how many hours/minutes do you eat your meal before and after you hit the gym?
  • Happee Berthdae!
  • My people's choice weight is 122, my goal is 129...I think 122 would be waay to thin
  • Aside from sushi, new clothes. I would love to buy a new pair of Lucky Jeans and True Religions. Love to wear skinny jeans with glossy pumps, sexy!!! :smooched:
  • Now I'm tracking, that's in Indian Springs...about 50 minutes Northwest of Las Vegas. I'm sorry to hear your brother got in trouble but I hear that High Desert has fabulous education programs to help your brother when he may need it most. I'm not going to lie, it's going to be rough and as Neome90 said, "in a couple of…

  • There's a maximum security prison in Vegas? I thought that was in Ely?

  • Wow, didn't know people actually did that. Thought it was something they just did in the cartoons. I live in the desert, what do I know? :happy:
  • I'm an ignorant Las Vegan, what's snow shoeing?
  • That's where we're different, I have no respect for my mother and could care less :)
  • I stopped caring what others thought a long time ago. I'd rather look ungrateful than be disappointed in myself for eating something that makes me sick.
  • I know you can do it. I'm sure you quit smoking while you were pregnant and if you could do it then you can do it now. :flowerforyou:
